DEATH OF DIR. G.. H. HOWARD.
The announcement of the sudden
death of DIR. G.. H. Howard of
Mortified, on last Tuesday, from
diphtheria, sent thrill of sorrow
through the many friends whom he
had in this village, where he resided
previous to his going to Massachus-
etts. DR.. Howard commenced the
practice of medicine in this village in
the summer of 1878 and continued
here until September 1885, when he
moved to Mortified where wider
field was afforded in which to practice
the profession which he loved so well
His constantly increasing practice,
while here, is a sufficient testimonial
of his skill as a physician and the
many friends which he drew about
him are an evidence of the high es-
TEEN in which he was held as man.
He was an enthusiast in all public
enterprises which concerned the vii
lage, and always lent a willing and
efficient hand in assisting undertake
ings for the public good. He was a
good doctor, an obliging friend, and
an estimable citizen. His family and
relatives have the sincere sympathy
of this entire community.

She has borne her sufierings sweetly,
But at last, she is at rest.
White-winged angels bore your loved

Where the flowers never wither
And the summer never dies.

You shall greet your angel one.
Brightly she will smile upon you,
And together you shall roam,
Where sorrow never enters
And partings never come. A.

WHAT AM | TO DO?

The symptoms of Biliousness are I'M
happily but too well known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often Hemmorrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or flatu-
lence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not effect
cure try GdeeR's august Flolrer, it cost
but trifle and thousands attest its efiica-
cy.
